Comprehensive instruction on the skill of sports massage by two specialists in the field. Includes sections on stretching, self-massage, Shiatsu and accupressure.

Sports therapy has made huge advances in recent years, and is no longer the preserve of the professional athlete. More and more people who take part in sport at all levels are seeking treatment from masseurs and other therapists for injury or the fatigue that follows intensive training. This landmark book is the first to set out in full the techniques and routines involved in sports massage, as well as guidance on the treatment of specific injuries related to various sports.
